I actually really liked this book! It was pretty amazing there were things that you could see were coming but that you weren't entirely sure you were right. But there were also parts of the book that were unpredictable. I can't wait until I can get to the next book. ...more

Despite very negative reviews, I would recommend this book to anyone. This book was so good; it was hard to put down! The characters were interesting and likeable; the storyline, full of twists and turns. I found myself saying "aha" numerous times. There was the right amount of excitement, romance, mystery and I was introduced to a new paranormal character, the "The Shadowhunter". People with part angel blood that hunt and kill demons.

My friends always used to rave about this series so when i finally got this book from the library, I was quite surprised when I wasn't that excited to read the book.

Well, there is a day of my life I will never get back...

This is the most boring POS I think I have read since the last 2 Sookie books. I am so glad I just read how it ended on Wikipedia.

I also can't believe they are making a movie out of this suck-fest. At least I now know I can save myself that $10.00... ...more

Such an amazing book, and such a great start to the series.
I can see why so many people love The Mortal Instruments novels.
I'm absolutely taken by the story; It's fast paced, action packed, filled with lore and just enough supernatural aspects to make it interesting and an attention grabber. I'm emotionally invested in what happens to the main characters. Clare gives us some twists and turns that you never see coming... and some you do, but don't wanna recognize cause you're in denial. Loved it. ...more
